Answer:
slope = 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = rise/run = 3/5
or (longer way w/ the points)
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (5-2)/(4-(-1)) = 3/5
Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.
Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x
Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s
Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18 Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x Divide by 2
72/2 = x
x = 36
The height of the tree is 36 feet.
Answer:
x = √149 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorem
x^2 = 10^2 + 7^2
x^2 = 100 + 49
x^2 = 149
x = √149
Ok, so she started off with $5.00.
She bought milk for $2.99.
She buys bread, which costs $1.50.
Subtracting the money she wasted, the total would be $0.51.
The only thing she could buy is 5 pieces of gum for 25 cents.
Her change will be $0.26.
Hope this helps!
